Toni Buzzeo’s LIGHTHOUSE CHRISTMAS illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. Frances is determined to make Christmas jolly, even if it means joining family on the mainland and leaving Papa behind on their isolated lighthouse island. But when Christmas Eve brings a wild storm and Papa risks his life to rescue a drowning man, the children realize that the most important thing about the holiday is being together. Cozy and nostalgic, this story was inspired by the Flying Santa program, a New England tradition since 1929. Visit Toni’s website for more on this new release and forthcoming titles!
Carmen T Bernier Grand’s ALICIA ALONSO: Prima Ballerina illustrated by Raul Colon, a 
free-verse illustrated biography for middle readers follows one of 20th-century ballet's most gifted ballerinas, tracing her climb to the rank of prima ballerina assoluta and her battle to continue dancing as she loses her sight. Spiced with the Spanish of her native Cuba and full of poignant detail, Bernier-Grand's account does not flinch from Alonso's complex relationship with the Cuban government nor from the physical punishment that is the reality of dance. Visit Carmen’s website for information about this new releases and forthcoming titles!
